a somewhat rough, unfinished surface that is not suitable for road bikes. Other parts are totally undeveloped and overgrown. There are no major obstructions of the North section of the trail in the form of missing or unsafe bridges. Though some parts of the trail may be undeveloped, this area does not have the many river crossings of the southern section. The trail continues west of Route 66 as the Veterans Greenway, a town-owned bike route that leads to downtown Willimantic. Route 66, Windham to South Brook Road, Hampton This section has seen many upgrades in recent years. The section's first was paved as part of the US 6/Route 66 interchange reconstruction project. The state and the towns of Windham and Chaplin cleared, graded, installed signage and put down a smooth stone-dust surface on this section of the trail. This included the construction of a trail bridge over Boulevard Road. South Brook Road, Hampton to Lewis Road, Hampton This section was cleared and graded by the National Guard in the mid-1990s. The surface was not finished and is still rough in sections and there are drainage issues in areas that sometimes flood the trail. There has not been much maintenance done on the trail in the last few years, so even the areas that were cleared have become somewhat grown in. Still, the trail is passable for hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers. The town of Hampton and the DEEP have plans to add signage and finish the surface of the trail with stone dust. This work has not yet been started. An abandoned overpass which formerly carried Parker Road over the line collapsed in May 2016; the trail section was briefly closed during cleanup. Lewis Road, Hampton to Wrights Crossing Road, Pomfret This section is under construction by the DEEP, DOT and town of Pomfret. The stretch from Lewis Road to Covell Road is currently being worked on to improve drainage and finish the surface. The trail is completed between Covell Road and Route 169, with smooth stone-dust surface. The section from Route 169 to Wrights Crossing Road is essentially complete, with some drainage improvements planned. Wrights Crossing Road, Pomfret to Kennedy Drive, Putnam This section of trail is completely undeveloped. It has not been cleared and is overgrown, with a rough surface, tree falls, and several wet areas with drainage problems. It is necessary to climb embankments to cross
